Even though we are playing Keeneland today, don't fail to spend some of your afternoon looking in at Oaklawn. It would have been just as worthy as Keeneland for our contest card. They have a superb card of racing scheduled, with a couple of million dollar races - the Oaklawn Handicap and the Apple Blossom.

Even though it has only drawn a field of 5, I want to watch the Apple Blossom for the matchup of Latruska and Ce Ce. Oh, yes, Clariere is also running and should have something to say in the outcome. Not a great betting opportunity, but to me it is one of those races where you are rewarded by just sitting back and watching some wonderful horses giving their best.

So Sorry 😔 My Track Choice Disappointed You
It was indeed a Tuff Decision

But IF This Forum Permitted Bonus Races
( Which I Think Was OK In Years Past
And Would Be A Wonderful Option To Resume )

I Definitely Would Have Included the OP Stakes

This Track Decision = Price Ya Pay For Winning

“ Ya Can’t Please All The Peeps All The Time “

But Hopefully I Pleased Some?

I think that you misread my post. How could anyone be disappointed with Keeneland as the contest choice? Rather than criticizing your venue choice, I was alerting our players of other races to enjoy this afternoon.

I certainly intend to partake of the best of both. Hope you enjoy the day also.

SO SORRY FOR THE MISCOMPREHENSION OF WORDING 😔

Another reason I chose Keeneland
Was based on Personal Ego 😒 + Wishful Thinking 🧐 💭 🤔

2 Wins 🏆 🏆 At Keeneland
Now Can The 3rd Time Be The 3-Peat Charm? 😱
~~~~~~~ Probably Not 😢 ~~~~~~~~~

The Apple Blossom lived up to the advance billing. Letruska hasn't lost a step and seemed to have an extra gear when the other two big girls came after her in deep stretch.

It's so much fun to watch a champion do what she does best.

Must admit, I thought it a little strange to be going back to Keeneland with two million dollar races being run at Oaklawn, but I think it worked out well. I probably wouldn't have played the short priced Apple Blossom and I had no clue in the Oaklawn Handicap so would have lost that one. So must say ma'am you did good in selecting Keeneland. Keep up the good work.
